Faith by Mercy with Mercedes Williams

Oh hey!As the title hints, this week we are chatting about a question I wrestled with for the first 5ish months of being married. I went into marriage with the assumption that I'd be a pretty low maintenance wife, but quickly found myself resenting the wife I showed up as. The Lord has been speaking a lot into this area of my journey, so buckle up and let's chat about the wifey era!M xx

Hey hey hey!This week is a goodie, but probably one for the headphones hehe. We are going deeper into my journey towards marriage and you get to hear parts of my story I haven't shared much. God has brought so much goodness out of things that were tender to walk through. I hope this blesses your story!M x

Oh hey! This week I'm recapping the wedding day from the early hours I woke up until arriving at the wedding night location. It was a beautiful day & Little Miss Emotional certainly showed up for the ride. How fun that I get to share the day I became Mrs Williams!! x

Yes, in this episode I have a lot of tears and you're invited into a tender journey. I'm sharing a story of engagement that perhaps no other bride has spoken about with you. My prayer is that this brings encouragement, a sense of validation for any emotional brides out there & also gives hope to know that however your story may look like one day as a fiancé, there's a girl who's walked the hard road before. xx

I still get the happy feelings thinking about my hens party. It was truly one of the best weekends in my life & I felt so so loved by all my gals. Let me tell you all about it! xx

I cried the day I got engaged because my reaction to Kadin proposing wasn't what I'd dreamt of. I was feeling lots of different things in the moment it happened and afterwards, which led to being a bit emotionally numb and not being the giggly & fresh fiancé I'd always expected I'd be. For months this special day was a tender memory that I didn't want to dwell on, because I carried shame around how I was feeling.Now, after having processed all the feels, I'd LOVE to share with you all the precious moments that made this day one year ago such a treasure!!

Guyyyysssss!!!I'm back with another season of the Faith by Mercy podcast & this time we have extra fun packed into these future episodes.It's been a whole year since the ending of Season 3, and I'm ready to share all the goodness that has been happening behind the scenes in my WIFEY ERA!Get ready my friends, because we have a lot to catch up on. The new Mrs Williams hehe xEPISODE 1 COMING SATURDAY 30 AUGUST 2025

And we are coming to a close for this Little Miss Cuddles mini series... (insert a sad emoji). To wrap this conversation up, I expand on my Little Miss FOMO episode questions (as that episode was connected to my Cuddles journey). We then talk about our relationship with obedience, daring to hope that God is capable of bringing good out of this season & recognising we must be loyal to our Creator rather than His creation. I also unpack some truths about God's character that I'd replaced for lies & close with the thoughts and encouragements from Jesus that led to my solid conviction moment. It's pretty much a episode filled with all the goodies! May you be encouraged and feel empowered to seize a life of joy as Little Miss Cuddles. xx

If you loved the first episode of Little Miss Cuddles, you're in for a treat with Part Two! (and get excited about Part Three!!) In this episode, we continue the conversation talking about building trust with ourselves, setting ourselves up to run this cuddle race well & boundaries... (I share a couple of my own). Plus, I dive into my 'sob drive' conversation I had one night with Jesus & all that came to the surface in that moment. If you have been feeling alone in this tricky journey as Little Miss Cuddles, my prayer is that this episode will leave you feeling understood, validated & affirmed that you are not the only one navigating the Little Miss Cuddles waves. Let's jump right into the conversation! xx

Oh heyyyy! I've been taking my sweet time getting this episode ready for you, because it's ended up turning into a three part conversation! Eeeeek! This episode is for Little Miss Cuddles: - the girl who thrives with deep emotional connection and therefore can sometimes find that fueling her desire for good cuddles. - the girl who wants to honour God through out her relationship, while also understanding how to enjoy the beautiful intimacy that comes within a healthy relationship. - she feels the hormonal waves of frustration & contentment. - she’s figuring out boundaries. - she’s just a little bit all over the place & has found this to be a big journey. If this sounds a lot like you, then my friend, I have a mini series this season for youuuuu! Join me as I share with you all the words of wisdom & encouragement God has spoken over my own Little Miss Cuddles when it comes to living a life with sexual integrity. :)

Heyyy! Better late than never right?! This week's episode is for my introverted friends... x I'm chatting all about what I've learnt when it comes to managing my capacity for life & living with what can feel like a smaller social battery than others. Of course we are also talking about Jesus & how I've been encouraged as an introvert when looking at His life through out the gospels. I love being able to share what God's coaching me through in the day-to-day. Have a blessed day! x

Oh hey! I'm coming this week with an episode for my sweet indecisive friends. You know who you are... And yes, this trait is something I've labeled myself with for pretty much my whole life. BUT, in this episode I'm sharing the encouragements & words that have empowered me to let go of this identity label. Have the best day friend, M x

In this episode, we are diving into the idea of ‘triggers’ & I'm sharing the wisdom that has helped me in my own journey, as well as some of my own triggers that I’ve been working through in the past year.

Today’s episode is all about empowering the girl who is feeling frustrated with her body...aka for Little Miss Insecure. It's pretty much a girls chat episode… there's a bit of everything here! But my hope is that through my own story & encounters with Jesus, you’ll leave feeling encouraged. In the first half we dive into the wonderful world of periods and the four phases we go through. In the second half, I share how learning about my cycle empowered me in my own journey towards confidence in my body. I also share lots about my own wrestle with insecurity & the words of truth & encouragement that helped me become Little Miss Confident!!

Hello my sweet friend! This episode is a goodieeeee! I know we often say we have FOMO with regards to a social event or moment that we can’t make it to, but I've realised I’ve held onto some pretty deep FOMO when it comes to God’s blessings & goodness that he desires to pour into my life. I wanted to start SEASON 3 off with what has probably been one of the most tender & eye-opening pain points for my heart. In this episode I'll share a lot from my own conversations with Jesus about this deep FOMO & even lots of the things that came up when I sat down with my journal. May my fellow Little Miss FOMO friends be encouraged & may you have the sweetest day. -- M x

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve set up the mic and sat down for a chatty podcast moment...

Hello my friend! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! For this episode, I wanted to go down memory lane and celebrate all the beautiful moments from being 22. This past year has been my favourite! I feel like I've had a big glow up within my confidence and I managed to fit in a bunch of different dream projects. FYI this is also the final episode for season 2. Sorryyyy. I'll be back at some point with more Mercy chats, but for now I'm taking a break to devote more time and focus to some other fun things! Lots of love, Mercy

Hello my friend! It's that time of the week again when I bring you a chatty episode to brighten up your day! About a month ago I finished up a 12 week health challenge. This was required for my holistic health coaching & nutritionist study, so I was pretty much my own client. In this episode I share with you what goals I chose that incorporated nutrition and all the highs and lows of the 12 week experience. It was fascinating seeing how so many factors of my life interacted with each other. I hope you enjoy listening to all the things I learnt about myself and holistic health. May you have a beautiful day. :)

Hello hello! I am SO glad you have found your way to my sweet space! You are in for a treat this week. I had a lovely conversation with a dear friend about living life with confidence in God and also our own ability to navigate life with wisdom--and I am excited to share it with you! Kate is someone who has poured encouragement, love and celebration into my life for so many years. She also has been so faithful in loving Jesus through every season with all she has. I love all the thoughts she had to share in our conversation and pray you find yourself encouraged. Have a fabulous day my friend! :)

Hello hello my friend! I am SO glad you have found your way to my sweet space! I have another beautiful guest for you this week sharing about her beautiful adventures with Jesus and all the dreams God has been inspiring her to pursue in this season. This gal has a heart of gold and really brings the joy and party-spirit into a room. I have loved the many, many years of knowing Samantha and am pumped to invite you to listen to our fun conversation. My prayer is you will leave this episode feeling excited about your next adventure with Jesus or all the wonderful dreams He has placed in your heart. I hope you have a blessed week my friend. :)
